This is the beach I spend all my free time at (When the weather's good). Hardly anyone ever goes there, even during peak season. It's one of South Devon's best kept secrets.

that's it, get in some practice hertha..

No.

I used to go to a beahc like that in peak that was close to Brixham, there are a fair few quiet secluded beaches in South Devon, love the place.

Harsh

but fair

 :D

True

Not such a big secret anymore, is it Steve? Well done there.

nearer babbacombe,maidencombe i'm guessing?

Well it is still a secret really, isn't it Ian? I haven't said where it is you see, only that it's along the South Devon coast.

Arriba, nearer to Lyme Bay than Torbay. 

maidencombe is lyme bay.the beach deffo is familiar.looks like the terrain between shaldon and maidencombe.is it the one with the steep narrow road leading to it?

Is Shaldon the place near Teignmouth....cross the bridge?

yeah it is leefer

Cheers arriba...love it down that way.

Pebble beaches are crap, probably why nobody goes there. Nice views though.

Keeps the Triffids away, they can't walk on shingle.

Is that the place where there is a tunnel you walk down to get to the beach (from the car park)? It was created by smugglers.

I have a day off work tomorrow. Unpaid, as I contract.

So:

10am - interview for another (better) job in Warwick  :)
1pm - dentists  :(
3pm - break the beer out
5pm - set fire to some mammal remains on the barbie

It could be worse

Had a change yesterday and went here..................

Is this at West Bay, near Bridport?

I wouldnt have thought so Lothar as Hertha said it was South Devon and West Bay is in Dorset.

 :D Oh gosh, how stupid of me! I live in Bournemouth, have for two years and often venture down that coastline. What a div I am! Scenery does look similiar though. Love the coastline. Walked from Bournemouth right around to Dancing Ledge beyond Swanage on Sunday and then back again, also means you get to wander through the nudist beaches on Studland on route if you keep to the shoreline. Very mixed bag though, mostly crusties, one of two hotties on display however!

:)

herhab said it's somewhere different. lothar matteus might be onto something

Certainly looks like the cliffs at West Bay.

The interview went very well. Fingers crossed for a job offer. My dentist has lovely eyes. I like gazing into them when she is rooting around with the ultrasonic pick. Nice clean teeth now.

It's nearly 3pm, shall I break the beer out and set up the barbie or shall I take the family down the pub for dinner later instead? Hmmm.

Stop talking to yourself.

That's it spacey, you tell him.

Spot on! Between West Bay and Burton Bradstock. West Bay is quite nice during the week, up until the school holidays, then it's chav central.

Sorry to be a pain but this thread is over two pages long surely it should now be ruined by politics and puns.

Sorry DRS, life's a beach.

Klaatu Barada Nikto.

There's some seriously evil shit coming your way now.

Great  :D Sometimes catch the Jurrasic Coast bus that goes from Bournemouth as far as Exeter and lets you jump on and off as you please. West Bay is one of the places I jump off at and nearby Bridport a few miles further inland looks to have some decent pubs for an afternoon out. By the way, are you a Hertha BSC Berlin fan. I was born in Spandau, where my dad was based in the forces, and have there team scarf in my room  :D

He's a Swindon fan you bopard.

 He's a Spandau ballet fan though...good work Lothar, I've walked there loads of times, and knew it looked familiar, but couldn't pin it down...Dorset Coast Path is ace

GOOD WORK !

Was that when you were there?

No

+10 for retro insults :)

 Agreed, lovely to have a leisurely or challenging walk on a warm day along the Dorset coast. At some point I want to do the whole South West coastal path, a colossal 650 miles from Poole all the way round to Minehead in Somerset. No idea how long to give myself to complete that  (a fortnight?) and if my feet would be up to the task!

 By the way, if anyone was at the Bournemouth v Swindon game a couple of seasons back, the New Years one, I was the Swindon fan who got led out by the police for falling all about the place after a seriously toxic quantity of vodka had been consumed. Very regrettable indeed and a few hours in a cell  :( Left my two mates in the lurch who'd come down to visit me as well  :bye: Been meaning to join the forum for a while now.

  Drunken, loutish behaviour at football matches is frowned upon by this forum, whose members tend to be sober pillars of the community..... ;)

 I reckon you'd need more than a fortnight to do the SWP path....bit of a monster.

 Without making it a serious goal in life, I've walked a fair chunk of it by doing sections over many years.  So I'll identify a bit which hasn't been done and go and spend some time there. My biggest gap is between Fowey and Plymouth...then east out of Plymouth for a few miles.  Not sure I'll ever get round to doing it.

 Probably not much use to you, but I've walked the Cotswold Way in chunks....roughly 5 20 mile sections, easy to do from Swindon.

Ime delivering to Bude on Monday...hoping for stroll after.......Loo,Padstow,Falmouth i like....ther seems to be a real stunningness about places ware Rivers meet the sea.

Hi Reg, yep, think I underestimated the enormity of the challenge. Best to adopt the approach you've taken and tackle it in chunks. Infact, that stretch that you are earmarking to complete next between Fowey and the Devon border is the section that really grabs me the most. The whole Cornish coast is unutterably beautiful and the little fishing villages in the various coves would be my ideal places to live. I'm gonna aspire to doing that walk this Summer. I tend to get carried away on the ale which makes rising nice and early and striding onwards potentially unrealistic.

Leefer, I was in Falmouth last year and it was teeming with tourists. I'd like to take a boat up from there to Truro through the Carrick Roads waterways. Was surprised to discover that Falmouth is the third largest natural harbour in the world after Sydney and Poole.

Rially...

I don't know about Falmouth being the third largest natural harbour, but have you seen those pics of the large redundant ships anchored inland from Falmouth?
